- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 4 days ago:
they took the meta out of Meta 🤣
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 1 week ago:
I fucking hate gen AI art and it has made my life more difficult in many ways… suddenly it infests shit in a way it shouldn’t
seeing as how using genAI even during development is still rare enough that it makes the news, I can’t imagine it’s been as big of a problem for them as they make it seem. this sounds more like a smaller publisher taking a popular public stance for the PR.
- Comment on What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)? 3 weeks ago:
Well, I’ve read about people using Mac Minis as home servers, so I’m assuming that one is more powerful than the HP laptop. You’ll probably want to make it the media server.
The HP laptop doesn’t need to be all powerful in order to function as a NAS, so that’s a good job for something with such weak specs. I would remove the battery though. If you keep it plugged in all the time you won’t need it, and batteries that stay charged all the time will end up being ruined anyway. Better to just recycle that than to risk ending up with a spicy pillow.
- Comment on What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)? 3 weeks ago:
you should indeed use one as your home media server. but you may not need to figure out how to control them. if you have a smart TV or a Roku, then you can always just set up a Jellyfin on the server and stream to your TV, which would allow you to use your normal remote.
for the other one, you can turn it into a NAS for backup purposes or something. there’s honestly a ton of different things you can do fairly easily.
- Comment on Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high? 3 weeks ago:
maybe if you close the baffle plate. and make sure everyone agrees to it or you could catch a charge if they get pissy about it.
